I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend!
Oh, I am embarrassed- somehow I managed to spell "summer" incorrectly in my post title over the weekend, and by the time I had noticed, I had linked up with other blogs - so I just left it, as is. Do you ever have that happen?Nordstrom is having a great sale that ends June 4th - so here are just a few more of my picks. NORDSTROM SALE PICKS

I found this fedora that is only $18 - and I starting looking around for some style inspiration for today's post, I came across all these great looks for how to wear a fedora or floppy hat. I think everyone always looks so stylish - yet I feel a little unsure about wearing one. Also, I never know when you wear it - and when you should take it off. Do you take it off in a restaurant - and if you are sitting outside - do you keep it on? I am sure the rules have evolved - but what are today's rules to follow? I have pinned these images to my Pinterest board.TOP TEN PICKS & DEALS

1. This fun lace up tee - comes in stripes and four colors - and is on sale for as low as $14.

Today, I am sharing my five most popular items & top five picks and deals. I have pinned all these looks to my stripes board on Pinterest. I found a fun floral skirt with a bow that is an additional 25% off // striped tee on sale for $15 // striped blazer for as low as $25.

As you maybe starting to pack or think about a beach vacation - here are some ideas on what to wear. The romper on the right (that is under $30) could easily be worn as a fun cover-up to the one piece suit on the left.

I have had this Pinterest-look saved for over a year. I love the boots with the jeans and the yellow sweater and leopard. It is the perfect combination. I wore a similar look - with my favorite leopard pumps instead of the boots.

SOME FINDS & DEALS
1. Have you seen this dress? It would be the perfect summer travel dress (or conversation piece).

If someone would ask me three big trends you need this summer - first, I would probably say a moto jacket (for layering over pretty much any look - for both practical (to stay warm) and stylish reasons (to look "cool"), next, would be a pair of mules (like these denim ones that are under $25), and lastly, a lace top (this tank option is under $25). I probably should not admit it - but I own more than one moto jacket. I am typically cold most of the time, so a leather jacket is a stylish way for me to add an extra layer of warmth - while still looking trendy. This one that I am sharing above is only $20 - and I have to say, I have been pretty impressed with the quality of their faux leather jackets in the past.

My friends over at The Blended Blog have started a new Wednesday fashion series - showing how our look was inspired by Pinterest.

Today, I am sharing how Brighton's striped dress and denim shirt look inspired my outfit. The dress I am wearing - I picked up at Forever 21 for $11 on a whim. I was quickly walking through the store - and spotted the dress - and bought it. I didn't even try it on. I figured for $11 - if it didn't work - it wouldn't be a huge loss - and it was worth skipping the hassle of trying it on. (Do you ever feel that way?) Lucky for me - it worked out perfectly. I have worn the dress several times - and I look forward to wearing it again this summer.

I love the look of a white blazer layered over the floral dress. I picked up this white blazer a couple of weeks ago - and I love it. I get compliments when I wear it. This floral dress with a pleated skirt would look cute layered under a blazer.

Floral joggers are a great way to look both dressed up and comfy casual at the same time. I found these joggers that are on sale for only $40. And, I shared my top five picks for denim jackets under $50 here.
